The danger of salt poisoning in
hogs apparently has been o▼e^
emphasised even to extent that
some tenners are afraid to feed
salt to their hogs. Only saJt
starved hogs are In danger of
eating enough to make them sick.
Keeping loose salt either by it
self or In a mineral mixture before
the hogs at all times Is a skfe and
sensible practice.
MOST 4-H CLUB BOYS MAKE
MONEY ON THEIR BEEF
CALF PROJECTS
. 4 review oLths i^corda kept by
4-H clnb boys on their beef calf
projects show that almost all of
the boys made some profits on
their calves. The average profit
per calf was |S5.*In many cases
the boys actually made more
money than this because they had
grown their own feed, but in order
to keep their profits on a strictly
business basis the cost of feed
as well as all other costs were in-
olnded. (Generally speaking the
boys who bad Ae best type of
calves and who did the best job of
feeding them made the most
money.
In his record book John Elliott
of Midway 4-H clnb has the follow
ing-to say: «
**{n having my steer I leampd
how to correct B<Hne of my mis
takes. Two of my mistakes were
bnylng a calf too yonng, and not
stall feeding him long enough. An
other was not feeding him regul
arly every day and not increasing,
-bis feed more when necessary.

more money from cotton
Cotton in Kershaw county la stlU
an important crop. In order to
make more money from iL the fol
lowing are a few lauggestions on
fertilisation:
1. On .the average cotton land
use one ton of limestone per acre
every three to five years. Lime has- ...... ^
tens maturity, decreases the siie I*** Plsgsh

ners have grown their cotton on
"sweet” (non-ncld) land.
2. Apply fertilizer and bed 10
days before planting. If possible.
8. Side-placement of fertilizer Is
desirable where equipment la avail
able. Place the fertilizer two or
three inches to the sMh of the drill
and two Inches belovr seed level. If
equipment is not available to do
this, follow the fertilizer distrlbu
tor with a small shovel plow or
bull tongue to mix the fertilizer In
the drill before bedding. .This will
help prevent the young sprouts
from being damaged by having
their roots come In contact with
a concentrated roll of fertilizer,
4. Use 500 to 1,000 pounds of
fertilizer per acre under the cot
ton, depending niK>n soil type and
fertility of the land. Formulas
recommended are ^ 4-10^, 4-8-8,
6-104i and 2-0-9.
5. After chopping. sidO-dress

available nitrogen fertilise'. If 200
pounds per acre it used, divide it
into- two applications, the first
